Artist's Comments

This here is a design for one of my next tats when I can afford it. I put both views of it for you;

Upside down, it spells "DEATH"
Rightside up, it spells "LIFE"

I saw it as a very tiny picture on a old religious pamphlet online. I redid it the basic idea of it the best I could see and then altered it so it would read better.

The design with the wings I came up with when (okay, really fangirley now... fuckin sue me) AFI was my focal point in trying to pull myself out of a deep depression and try to live, hence the AFI wings on the outside.

The glass can be 1/2 empty, 1/2 full and it all comes down to your perception of things. Well, I made my choice last summer and can honestly say there has only been two other times in my life that I've been THIS happy.

The more I look at this, the more I can see how it can be better, and I'll update it when I get my lazy behind to redo it.

That's awesome.. it'd be even better if it read the same from back to front then different when it was upside down, heh.

Although- I can see other ways now to make it better. I didn't get it tattooed because I've seen in several times now, I wonder if it might be flash or something. :( Meh.

Okay, the description was updated. I just read how that could be interpreted that I came up with the full design, which was not my intention.

As stated on my main page: "I never trace although I can draw exactly what I see, so if some of it looks familiar, that's because I've prolly drew it from that same picture"

Sorry for any confusion guys!
